hitting the octatrack hard in october. this is a sampling of some of the minimal groove tweakery i was up to. groove sounds are from the machinedrum, nord drum 2 and micromac. loads of lofi tweak with the biscuit and mf-102. some space and other fx added with the h9.

They say he is a little odd.
They say he is a bit strange.
They say he is touched in the head.
They say he is a queer one.

They say he is a foul one.
They say he is into all sorts.
They say he licks windows.
They say he scares the girls.

They say he is overtly violent.
They say he battered a nun.
They say he strangled a cat.
They say he hid the evidence.

They say he practices magic.
They say he worships Satan.
They say he crucified Jesus.
They say he poured blood into holy water.

They say he murders children.
They say he gets off on am pew tee rape.
They say he butches babies,
And feasts upon belly bacon.

They say he sodomised the pope.
They say he slices his skin as he comes.
They say he defecates in holy places.
And wipes his arse with holy books.

seven minutes of a self-generating Buchla 200e patch.  love the randomly subtle timbral shifts and articulations that arise.  listen in a large room if possible or headphones otherwise.  this patch almost seems to breathe. to see a photo and video of the patch go to http://m.matrixsynth.com/2012/08/krell-muzak-by-todd-barton-on-buchla.html
